'''BMW''' was the central group | '''BMW''' was the central group of the WIDEVERSE after [[COMMUNISM]]s decline in 2015. Initially formed as a Rust group from SomethingAwful, BMW grew into a prosperous gaming group and Mongolian troll farm. BMW rebranded to [[WrongThink Tank]] in 2017, before shortening it to WTT in 2018, then completely abandoning that brand and renaming to [[Wideboys]] in 2021. Though BMW lives on directly in [[WIDEBOYS]], for the sake of historical record the group is considered to be defunct. | ||

January 2016 was the first time BMW played on Rusticity. It at the time was a fairly active server with an owner who was bipolar to say the least. He frequently changed rules and mods and even gather rates, but the server was stable and at that point in Rust, that's all BMW could ask for. It was a rough start because of an influx of new people after the 2015 Winter Sale, but a DREADFORT was eventually built. Rusticity however was not short on other clans looking to take shots at BMW.

It was a rough start because of an influx of new people after the 2015 Winter Sale, but a DREADFORT was eventually built. Rusticity however was not short on other clans looking to take shots at BMW. The most notable being ECHO who came closer to online raiding the DREADFORT than anyone since SPEED, but was eventually driven back by a coordinated push from [[Peaches]] with an Eoka and Waterpipe and Cal Worthington coming behind cleaning up with automatic machine fire. However, they were able to get back later in the wipe via use of home commands and tower up to the roof of the DREADFORT and break in. Lev decided to go on a bender and announced he was shutting the server down the next week. | ||
Taylor had the brilliant idea to return to Rusty Bottoms, arguing that its better the shady devils you know than the crashing laggy devils you dont. The push started pre-wipe, with the infamous "poverty raid" in which Taylor, Rej, and Jack went from sticks and stones to raiding a giant island compound within 2 hours of joining the server, mainly fueled by autism, bullshit, and poorly designed bases. | Taylor had the brilliant idea to return to Rusty Bottoms, arguing that its better the shady devils you know than the crashing laggy devils you dont.

We then took what we had looted from chests and then what we had in their quarries and furnaces and made 4 C4, blew into an all armored 1 story building to the scene above.

BACKSTORY: Yesterday Ashy, Oz, iRogue, Method, and myself were dicking around the desert and came upon a base that had an exposed cupboard outside. We authed ourselves then laddered up to the roof, found a sleeper in DADDY, took his shit, killed him and left. I set home there JUST IN CASE, probably wont need it but you never know. | BACKSTORY: Yesterday Ashy, Oz, iRogue, Method, and myself were dicking around the desert and came upon a base that had an exposed cupboard outside.

Around the end of summer, Prude began reaching out to forlorn GBS Goons, starting what was later called the SA Rapefugee Program. The program was almost immediately successful, recruiting many active users into BMW that boosted the Pol channels immensely. | Around the end of summer, Prude began reaching out to forlorn GBS Goons, starting what was later called the SA Rapefugee Program.

BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever. Given the new nature of the group and its aims, Prude floated the idea of renaming to Wrongthink Tank on September 15th. The idea was very warmly received (outside of a few smoothbrains) and the old branding was mostly dumped, outside of keeping the BMW color scheme and still referring to members as Bimmers. | BMW, being a copyrighted international brand, was a name that obviously couldn't be used forever.
